Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! I will be teaching your child ELA (reading, grammar, spelling, writing). I will try to follow the homework helpline assignments as best I can. As always, there may be some unforeseeable events. Please keep in mind we need to have an open line of communication for you the student/parent to have a great year.

Parents and supporters:
We had a hallway meeting yesterday to reinforce a few things.  Student responsibility.  Students are not getting homework done, classwork done or tests.  Students are not showing responsibility, and it is affecting their grades.  Please talk to your child about being responsible:  writing down assignments, completing them in a timely manner in class, using time wisely, and completing homework.  There have been messes in the bathrooms:  toilet paper strewn, soap smeared on mirrors and personal matter.  Please review bathroom etiquette with your child.

Recess is not a place for hard balls or Frisbees. These must be Nerf and may not be played with everyday.  It will vary.

Field trip and lunch papers for field trip have been sent home today.  Please fill out the forms and return them.  If you want to be a chaperone, please notify me ASAP.

Dress code:  just because shorts are allowed doesn't mean shorts should be worn.  We do go outside for recess.  We don't have enough room to keep the "cold" students inside.  Also remember footwear.  Open toes are nice, but same...we don't have the room to keep "cold" toes inside.

It is an ongoing cold and flu season.  If your child is coughing, please send in cough drops from home.  Chapped lips are a common problem right now too.  Please send in chapstick, if able.  Encourage your child to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer.

Monday will be board game day.  If a child was written up by the office or Mr. Glessner or the classroom teacher, they will not have game day.  Tuesday Madison and Je'Nyce will have a food reward on Tuesday.

AR is up for the 3rd marking period.  Students were given a full marking period to read 8 points (including a novel).  4th marking period goals are 10 points (including a novel).

Next week periods 1 & 2 will have a spelling test on Friday U4W3.  They will also have a reading test Tuesday or Wednesday on Eye of the Storm.

Period 3 will have a reading test on Wednesday on Rare Treasures.

Have a great weekend!

Miss Brobst's class has a grammar worksheet for homework.  It is reinforcing imperative and exclamatory sentences to prepare for Wednesday's test. Mrs. Herring's class has a scavenger hunt for Lewis, Clark & Me.  Answers can be found in the story.  The backside has vocabulary to be used as a review for Thursday's test. AR goals were stapled in your child's assignment book.  October goals are 5 points or higher.  Goals need to be met by October 30th. October 27 is the Halloween party.  Please send $5.00 in for party supplies. Have a great week! Mrs. Herring

Friday is dress down, which is also Day 6, gym. Friday is the last day of the book fair. Monday we will be having a program on diversity. Tuesday will be all day chorus.  ONLY students who are involved with chorus are allowed to dress down.  Chorus kids that did not order a lunch must be sure to have theirs from home. Wednesday is our field trip.  Last minute reminders are being sent home in Friday folders.  Please look over for last minute information.  All students may ride school transportation to and from school that day.  We are boarding busses at 850 so please do NOT be late.  We are pulling out at 9am. Thursday is our picnic.  Students will be given pizza, Guers iced tea &/or water, snacks, and Rita's Italian ice.  Students may bring a towel to sit on outside.  Wear sunscreen and be mindful of gritters.

Back to School Week!!! August 29, 2016

WELCOME BACK!! Where has the time gone from the end of 3rd grade to the start of 4th grade? Today was a great day!  We will be building confidence, communication skills and relationships with the fellow classmates. This week we will be "getting to know" each other through multiple activities, reviewing policies and procedures and expectations.  I will also be administering DIBELS and DAZE tests to see how the students comprehend and use vocabulary skills. Parents, please return the paperwork that was sent home at Meet the Teacher or with your child today if you missed Meet the Teacher.  I would like papers back by September 7th.  Book orders will be going home on Friday with your child in their Friday folder. They are due back by September 9th.  The more books the students order, the more classroom books we can earn for free.  There is online ordering available as well.   I am looking forward to a great year! Have a great week, Mrs. Herring...
